I got it to work by changing /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to allow connections from all addresses. However, I am still not sure how to actually add the printer to my windows box. When I add by URL and point it to http://host:631/printers/lp0 (the name of the printer and the address that successfully connects via the browser) it gives me an error that it can't find the printer.
